Well here we are again, really pushing the boat out to celebrate our patron saint's day ! St. Andrew for Scotland is well celebrated, St. Patrick for Ireland is certainly well celebrated and internationally, St. David for Wales is also very well celebrated.

Why are we English so flamin naff ??????

I suppose it's a start that this year, at any rate, church bells will be rung throughout the land this evening around 6 - 6.30pm . There will also be numerous St. George's Day Parades by The Scouts and youth organisations etc. throughout England, on Sunday 25th April (coinciding with Australia's Anzac Day, this year).

Happy St. George's Day to all English born patriots, wherever you are ! :guitarist:guitarist:guitarist

St George and the Dragon Story

as Sir Cecil Rhodes once said 'always remember that you are an Englishman and have consequently won the first prize in the lottery of life'

Happy St George's Day to you, Gill :-6

TODAY I SAW ST GEORGES FLAG FLUTTERING FROM A MAST,

IT WAVED IN RECOGNITION TO THE GLORIES OF THE PAST.

IT BECKONED TO THE FUTURE AND SEEMED TO SAY ALOUD,

IF YOU SHOULD BE AN ENGLISHMAN LOOK UP MY SON BE PROUD!

COME WHAT MAY, LET MEN STILL SAY,

THIS IS ENGLAND

Happy St Georges day

This royal throne of kings, this sceptred isle,

This earth of majesty, this seat of Mars,

This other Eden, demi-paradise,

This fortress built by Nature for herself

Against infection and the hand of war,

This happy breed of men, this little world,

This precious stone set in the silver sea,

Which serves it in the office of a wall

Or as a moat defensive to a house,

Against the envy of less happier lands,--

This blessed plot, this earth, this realm, this England.

Old Bill Shakespeare

Happy St George's Day to all my English friends and family members!!!!
